Lucas Rides

We tried to get Lucas excited about ditching the training wheels by getting him a cool bike. Grandpa pulled through and bought the "shark" bike for Christmas, so as soon as we had some decent weather we went to work. This weekend we had a very successful "2 wheeler" learning session.

(The file is a bit large, I suggest "right-clicking" the picture and choosing "Save Target As". This will download the video to your computer. Then play it back from your computer. Next time I will cut back on the size :-)

Bill Gates announcement for my project

This is the video of Bill Gates annoucing my project with Ford. We originally were going to have the Ford car on stage with Bill but we got reduced to a photo-op with Mark Fields (President of the North America's) and some dialogue. Check it out.

CES, Ford and Vegas

I spent most of last week in Las Vegas at CES (Consumer Electronics Show) to announce our partnership with Ford. I have been working with Ford for about 18 months to get our Windows Mobile Platform in Ford cars and we formally announced and demonstrated the product at CES. Bill Gates announced the product during his keynote on Sunday night, then we did tons of interviews and demos throughout the week. Click the picture to read a bloggers take, it was a fairly meager review, but I was mentioned :-)

We did get some really good press elsewhere... CNET gave us the Peoples Voice Best In Show award, a interview with a guy from Design News, MSNBC, Wall Street Journal, etc. If you search for "Ford Sync" in any search engines you can read all you want. The official Ford site is www.syncmyride.com. Check it out.

Britney came down on Tuesday to get away for a few days which was super fun. We stayed at the Bellagio which is really nice, and got to eat good food. Britney slept in, took fancy baths, and met me in the afternoons when I was done with work stuff.

Gracie Dance Recital

Gracies dance recital was delayed from before Christmas until last night. She of course was AMAZING!!! She was center stage and nailed all her moves. Aunt Emily and Andrew came to support. Click the picture for the video of the dance.
